Need help with color ID

[Fat Brian]

I need help figuring out the color of a future project. It's an odd seventies orange that is a bit lighter than anything I've seen out there. Does anyone know what this color is called?

Looks like one of the farm tractor company colors?

Brian, it looks like a Pumkin orange, or a butterscotch maybe. Are you going to build it with the Detroit Diesel and the heavy truck chassis? I have extra Detroits if you need it.

Ford's Grabber Orange is similar.

Maybe this chart will be of help: http://scalemodeldb.com/paintcharts/modelmaster

Paint selection is by manufacturer.

Thanks, I will take a look at that. Terry, I bought a 6-71 from Spaulding just for this.

difficult to really get good color from the photo - but it looks like an orange that Ford had in their commercial/fleet colors - could be the same as grabber orange.

Might be just the lighting in the picture,but that looks an awful lot like "school bus yellow" to me?...................................Mark

I might have it, it looks like a stock color called Sunset Orange 064.

Kind of surprised JT hasn't chimed in on this one. He's our orange expert!

That is dark yellow

Ford called their orange Calypso Coral

After a few emails with the builder he said it was a Corvette orange metallic with gold flakes in the clear coat, I think this car looks pretty similar.
